Two in each wing, plus two short cables going from the control stick torque tube through the centersection, plus a separate cable through the centersection for the return cable. Yours may vary. Mine was made more complicated by the avionics in the centersection, which restricts access somewhat. If you are planning on unbolting the centersection pulleys to pass a cable through, you need to have the pulley bolts fastened with nutplates so you can get the bolts in and out (at least on mine, with a fuel tank just forward of the centersection spar). Put a couple more hours on mine this weekend - up to about 5 hours on it now. Wonderful fun, flying an open cockpit airplane on a crisp fall day. As Walt Evans says, "Ain't life GRAND!" Jack Phillips Raleigh, NC -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Richard Navratil Subject: Pietenpol-List: 3 piece wing I was just looking over 3 pc plan and wondering, how do you lead the aileron cable through the turning pulley and attach the wing? To clarify, the swedge turnbuckle end are too large to fit thru the pulley. Do you have to unbolt the pulley or is it typical to add a linkage at the wing side? I don't see anything on the plan about this.

Access panels were built into the underside of the center section, aft of the rear spar to reach this area. Another good reason to build a one-piece wing.......

Thats why I'm doing a 3 piece this time. Something like what Jack suggests with seperate sections is the way I'll go.

Dick ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 10:19:19 AM PST US From: "walt evans" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: 3 piece wing Dick, I used Mike Cuy's advice, and don't regret it. Just marked each cable end and left it rolled up in the root of the wing. After installing wings for the final assy, simply measure the cables and install eyes and bolt up. This included the turnbuckle in the overhead, and both cables comming down to the torque tube. This allowed for smaller holes in the cowl, and if I ever had to dissassemble, just cut the cables near the eyes and add more eyes later to reattach.

Here is a chicken-scratch sketch I drew up a few years back. Nothing fancy. I figure that if I ever ding a wing or have to take the wings off I'll just cut the cables and either add more cable or just re-string new cables.

Great to get outside advise when I'm starting to go on a tangent. If someday I have to take off the wings, It would only take me an hour tops to reassemble on the next site. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael D Cuy" Subject: Pietenpol-List: wing cables---sketch attatched > Walt--- glad things worked out for you w/ the 3 pce wing rigging/cable set > up.
